    Which they knew about before they left.

    The country is traumatised feck sake.

    They knew what would happen so very hard to have sympathy

    More fool they are for coming here.

    I suppose she expects the HSE to roll out the red carpet like they did for the other gullibles who believed the HSE bullsh1t, answered the call and (unsurprisingly) got let down.

    Jesus, that didn't take long. Would you like a cheese board to go with that whine?
    Grow the **** up, you live in absolute luxury, not the Warsaw ghetto.

    It is in no way embarrassing for the Defense Forces. The Defense Forces are not tasked with restraining people in quarantine and they have been ordered not to attempt to detain people.

    So who is responsible for detaining them? Cos detention is what quarantine means.

    I have no idea why the defence forces are there to start with :confused:

    They get transported on a coach why do they need a convoy?

    As I posted it's a private security firm who call the Garda if they have problems heard it on the news yesterday

    You realize if they were going the other way they'd have had the same thing and that this has been the case for months, right? Why would it be less traumatising for Australians going back to Australia than for the Irish? Not to mention this family will presumably have known what the situation was, or they should have.

    She’s complaining about 3 beds for 5 people, If she doesn’t want to share a bed with her husband and 2 young children can’t share a double bed, that’s hardly the hotel's fault.

    Oh my god. I hope they don't mix with anyone that has driven down from Belfast.

    This is why making people quarantine like this is so pointless. Plus the fact that if Ireland hits its vaccine target 78% of the adult population will be vaccinated in the next 100 days or so.

    Might have been useful a year ago, too late now

    To be fair the hotel is empty, they deserve a bed at a minimum

    The hotel rooms in Oz would have been a hell of a lot better for a start, based on the conditions of what I saw on the news today.

    Nobody is responsible for detaining them.
    Gardai are to be called to " deal" with anyone not in compliance
    No point asking me any further because that is all I know - not being a smart alec, genuinely do not know

    Put a child in a room on their own? I’d rather my children together than split them up, it’s hardly a hardship for two kids to share a double bed, she’s making it sound like they’re all on top of each other in a single bed.

    But we know they weren't entirely honest in the conditions they showed. It's a four star hotel FFS, how bad can it be?


  • Registered Users Posts: 30,506 ✭✭✭✭freshpopcorn


    They'll probably announce in a few days that 20 people actually escaped but there was a delay in releasing the numbers!

    Where’s the begrudgery? You think I can’t afford the ticket? I could comfortably pay for several luxury holidays to anywhere on the planet this minute. But I won’t. Because I’m not a tool.

    The rest of your post is hysterical shíte. Dragging the Shoah into this is beyond imbecilic.

    From what I saw on the news it looked cramped, kids were just lying there miserable in small beds, no space really between beds, a tiny round table with 2 chairs. And the woman also complained about the getting let out for exercise situation.
    People will need to travel for different reasons, and this is just the start of the horror stories on this, and it’s only day 1. Considering the price this family has paid for their 2 weeks hotel stay I would expect the conditions to be a bit nicer.

    People need to wake up and realize we are in the situation we are in due to a corrupt Government and the fact that the EU is controlling all facets of the vaccination programme. A nurse returning from Australia or an immigrant from South America is not the problem, the problem in our own politicians and their corrupt buddies in the trade unions who have turned the HSE into the worst type of farce you couldnt imagine. If you gave a group of consultants a job and told them go and make an absolute disgrace of a health system and waste money like no tomorrow then they could not do a good a job as the HSE are doing of wrecking everything.

    Godwins law, you lose. Thanks for playing though!

    Do you have a list of laws we should and shouldn't follow? Does it vary, or is it set in stone?

    But you already know that what you saw on the news wasn't the truth. There were two interconnecting rooms, and there were (presumably, in a four star hotel) wardrobes to hang up their clothes.

    The photo was a set up. More fool you if you fall for it.

    (I know people who had to go back to China for work: they had to pay more than that again, albeit for a five star hotel. So maybe four str isn't good enough, but it will be more expensive if it's five star.)

    Is this really a horror story? Because it looks an awful lot like a good old whinge to me.

    They have two rooms!!!!!!

    It's all staged by media. Irish Times gave a better video where second room is clearly shown.

    The best bit is where the mother opens the empty!!!!!!!! wardrobes.

    Here's a tip for them, pick your clothes and suitcases off the floor and put them in wardrobes.

    What a joke.

    The system is only up and running a day and already it's exposed as a farce.

    It's probably one of the Defence Forces coaches being used.

    Edit: Just saw a photo and it appears to be a private one. I guess the DF are being used as a deterrent to encourage people to not try and get off before they get to the hotel.

    So? People aren't allowed to travel at all to Australia without good reason, such as relocating your family. She 's not coming to work for free is she? The same rules apply to everyone.

    So she should be exempt from the rules because she is a nurse?

    I'm keeping this for future reference, lol.

    We can't even run a quarantine here without a Keystone Kops style routine.

    She didn't fly directly to Dublin without stopover. Even if she did, she could have picked up covid 19 on the plane
